Continuous rains have pushed river levels higher in Bihar, causing water to enter schools and submerge roads in parts of Begusarai, Gaya and Saran districts.
Continuous heavy rainfall over the past days has raised the water levels of several rivers across Bihar, prompting officials to issue flood warnings for the state. The surge has been most pronounced in the districts of Begusarai, Gaya and Saran, where riverbanks are breaching their limits.
In Begusarai, water has entered at least two government schools, forcing classes to be suspended and students to be evacuated. Similar inundation has been reported in Gaya and Saran, where low‑lying roads are under several feet of water, disrupting traffic and hampering emergency movement.
The district administration has placed the affected areas under alert, deployed rescue teams, and urged residents to avoid non‑essential travel. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have warned that further downpours could exacerbate the flooding, urging people to stay prepared.
